Its 10am and I'm been with it since the beginning (1am). Luckily Firefox has a "refresh every..." add-on!
Hopefully it'll continue tonight so I have something to watch at work!
I'm watching it but no where near as obsessively as I used to. Gotten pretty tame in the last year or so. Love the leak frogs and screaming monkeys tho.

Random question but why do you list your diff and tranny fluids differently? I thought MT-90 was 75w90....

EDIT: I think I answered my own question. Now the question is how much did you need of both?

EDIT2! Found that too... SEARCH n00b!

I have been in meetings all morning and have missed some serious crappage. Instead of using Firefox refresh plugin you could always go with one of those small checker java script apps that only refresh the description and % left. Much better/faster.

So I just thought I'd toss this out there....


I'll be out at the Ledges on 8/8/08. Gonna do a half day. I heard Mark and Tony are going out so I figured I'd toss it out there that I'll be there.


And yes I'll have the 8.

Ooo. An 8 fest at the Ledges. Tempting.

I promised myself no more track driving until I get new tires & new fluids. I have a line on some HooHoos I could use out there but can't mount them on my stock wheels until I get new wheels/tires for regular driving and that's not happening until next month. But I might come up.

Damnit I want to play tho. Anyone got a spare set of stock rims they can give me for a couple months?

Yeah... I also have the Woot Watcher add-on so I can see it in the lower right corner.
A must have when at work!

I saw NewEgg has the 4GB cards for $15 or $12 without the adapter (which I already have).
Where are you quoting your prices?

Just watch here for a few days. They pop up super-cheap all the time:

http://forums.slickdeals.net/forumdisplay.php?f=9

Greatest site ever for finding cheap crap on the Internet. I just got an compressed air impact wrench for $20. Wish I'd had it last weekend to get those effin' endlinks undone.

EDIT: Like this one:

http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthr...67598&t=881400

$4 for a 1 gig w/adapter.

That's OK. You can leave them on. I'll be fine.

I may come up anyway. Probably be almost as beneficial sitting as a passenger on that track as driving.

What happened to the foci?

Someone opened a back door and I guess that they don't close once opened. :P We had to use Mark's ratchet strap to keep the door closed instead of fixing it. Brian was really sick from all the sun and needed to go.

Read he started getting some heat stroke. That sucks about the rear door. At least someone changed his wheels for him on the 8 even if we couldn't figure out what jack point to use with his jack.

Anyone know of local auto shops that carry ATE Super Blue? Gonna try to swap out my brake fluid this weekend along with the tranny and diff. Got my Redline for the diff/tranny. Just trying to find the brake fluid. Tirerack can get it to me wicked quick if I can't find it local or I might use a gift car on Amazon.

Oh and does anyone know when the next AutoX is around here? NORA schedule has ???? for the 8/17 event, something about an OVR cup the weekend after, and then two things Labor day weekend. Kinda hoping to run on the 17th.
